Q&A with Artist

Stephen Wildish

When did you first begin to show a passion for art & design?

'I probably got my interest in art and design from my father, who was a cartoonist. We used to sit around the table most nights after dinner and play drawing games'.

What inspires you and how does that translate into your work?

'A lot of my work is heavily inspired by food and the other British obsession, "class"'.

What is your favourite piece in your AtoZ collection?

'My favourite film alphabet? Definitely the 80s. It was the first and supposed to be the only one, but I got carried away. For some reason I wanted to draw Marty McFly from Back to the future and it just went from there'.

Tell us about yourself and your work

'My Name is Matt Needle and I am a Cardiff based designer & illustrator with an obsession for film. In 2009 I decided to combine my interests and start creating Movie Prints to sell...and I haven't looked back since'.
